Steps:
- Spray slow cooker with a little bit of non-stick cooking spray or olive oil.
- In a small saucepan, mix together seasonings (paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dry mustard) and rub on the outside of the pork roast. Take a larger roast. Place pork roast in slow cooker.
- Pour beef broth around the bottom of the slow cooker (don't pour it directly on the roast or it will rinse off all the seasonings).
- Cook on low heat for 8-10 hours (or high heat for 5-6, but I feel like the pork is more tender if you cook it on low).
- Shred the meat with 2 forks and pour in a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. Mix all together and serve on a bun with coleslaw.
- To make the coleslaw, combine coleslaw, cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, make dressing by combining mayonnaise, vinegar, celery seed, sugar, salt and pepper. Toss dressing into cabbage mixture and let chill until ready to serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Boston butt (shoulder) or pork shoulder are the best cuts for pulled pork because they have a good amount of fat and connective tissue, which break down during cooking and create a tender, flavorful meat.
- Use a good quality BBQ sauce: The BBQ sauce is the key to a great pulled pork sandwich. Choose a sauce that is thick and flavorful, with a good balance of sweet, tangy, and smoky flavors.
- Cook the pork low and slow: Pulled pork is best cooked low and slow, over a period of several hours. This allows the meat to break down and become tender, and the flavors to develop.
- Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, shred it using two forks. This will help to create a more tender and flavorful sandwich.
- Serve the pulled pork on a bun with coleslaw: Coleslaw is a classic side dish for pulled pork sandwiches. It adds a refreshing crunch and tanginess that complements the rich flavors of the pork.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make the best pulled pork sandwiches that your family and friends will love. So fire up your grill or smoker and get cooking!
